An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I never knew there was a difference between European and American butter until now, so I decided to look up what the differences are. I found this article (which is of course not paid for promotion for European style butter in the slightest), which is pretty funny, because it has a long list of examples for which the European butter is good; on bread, in sauces, cooking steaks, in all kinds of pastries. Basically everything. But it only has one example for the American butter, and that basically reads "well, using American butter in your cookies is at least better than having no cookies".

For others who are uninitiated the difference is the fat percentage which is 80% for American and 82% or more for European, plus European butter often contains bio-cultures, giving it a tangier taste.

What does "European style" even mean

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago
[–] 4grams@awful.systems 3 points 2 days ago

I always thought it was due to European butters being cultured (similar to yogurt).

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Higher fat content I think? At least that's what it means at my local store here in America.

Why on earth is there sugar in butter???

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Idk. Companies put sugar in everything to make it more addictive. I just figured the US did that already.

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Slow churned 😳🥵

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 18 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I don't see what is wrong.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's European and therefore wrong

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 3 days ago

I'm not saying, you are wrong. I'm saying, I must first try another kind of butter before I give an opinion.

I'm not sure to understand your comment either. Isn't bougie short for bourgeois in a bit of "chic" sens. In French, bougie means "candle".

Someone clicked left align when they meant to click center.

[–] zwerg@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How the fuck do you centre something in CSS!?

Step 1: get a pint of a virgin blood

What's European style butter? Is it made from actual cream?

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What butter isn't made from actual cream?

[–] Janx@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Oh nice. Don't think that counts but it is called butter I guess lol

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

US of A have some serious troubles regarding safe and healthy food. The ingredients often are interesting to put it mildly.

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

Just looked up Land O Lakes because it's the first popular one that comes to mind.

Sweet Cream, Salt. CONTAINS: Milk

Of 14g serving size 11g is fat which is about 78-80% fat.

Another generic butter

Great Value Sweet Cream Unsalted Butter

PASTEURIZED CREAM (MILK), NATURAL FLAVORING.

Natural flavoring is the alarming part of this list. But still has cream as the main ingredient.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

For butter? Have you seen American butter? Literally the only ingredient is cream and it's made the same way as European butter. Now margarine/oleomargarine is a manufactured butter substitute made from whipped oils and tallows with God knows other oil based products. But that isn't unique, it's widely available across the world and is usually sold as a "butter like spread" in America.

America is going through a rough spot but it's not some hell hole of careless abandon right now. Look up English ice cream and American ice cream you will be surprised. America takes its dairy products VERY seriously.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Sure is, ingredients are cream and salt

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

“European style butter” hehehe, great.

Probably cut close to the black square(called a print mark).

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

Nice did you get extra butter for free?
